Obstruction theory and the level $n$ elliptic genus

Algebraic Topology 2022-03-28 v1

Abstract

Given a height 2\leq 2 Landweber exact E\mathbb{E}_\infty-ring EE whose homotopy is concentrated in even degrees, we show that any complex orientation of EE which satisfies the Ando criterion admits a unique lift to an E\mathbb{E}_\infty-complex orientation MUE\mathrm{MU} \to E. As a consequence, we give a short proof that the level nn elliptic genus lifts uniquely to an E\mathbb{E}_\infty-complex orientation MUtmf1(n)\mathrm{MU} \to \mathrm{tmf}_1 (n) for all n2n \geq 2.
